Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The exponential function that decrease by 15% every time x increases by 1 is given by:

We simplify the parenthesis to get:

Therefore the decrease by 15% every time x increases by 1 is

The second choice is correct.
The question given is incomplete, I googled and got the complete question as below:
You are a waterman daily plying the waters of Chesapeake Bay for blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus), the best-tasting crustacean in the world. Crab populations and commercial catch rates are highly variable, but the fishery is under constant pressure from over-fishing, habitat destruction, and pollution. These days, you tend to pull crab pots containing an average of 2.4 crabs per pot. Given that you are economically challenged as most commercial fishermen are, and have an expensive boat to pay off, you’re always interested in projecting your income for the day. At the end of one day, you calculate that you’ll need 7 legal-sized crabs in your last pot in order to break even for the day. Use these data to address the following questions. Show your work.
a. What is the probability that your last pot will have the necessary 7 crabs?
b. What is the probability that your last pot will be empty?
Answer:
a. Probability = 0.0083
b. Probability = 0.0907
Step-by-step explanation:
This is Poisson distribution with parameter λ=2.4
a)
The probability that your last pot will have the necessary 7 crabs is calculated below:
P(X=7)= {e-2.4*2.47/7!} = 0.0083
b)
The probability that your last pot will be empty is calculated as:
P(X=0)= {e-2.4*2.40/0!} = 0.0907

12. Let's factor x2−9x+8
x2−9x+8
The middle number is -9 and the last number is 8.
Factoring means we want something like
(x+_)(x+_)
Which numbers go in the blanks?
We need two numbers that...
Add together to get -9
Multiply together to get 8
Can you think of the two numbers?
Try -1 and -8:
-1+-8 = -9
-1*-8 = 8
Fill in the blanks in
(x+_)(x+_)
with -1 and -8 to get...
(x-1)(x-8)
15. Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
(x−2)(x−3)=2
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
x2−5x+6=2
Step 2: Subtract 2 from both sides.
x2−5x+6−2=2−2
x2−5x+4=0
Step 3: Factor left side of equation.
(x−1)(x−4)=0
Step 4: Set factors equal to 0.
x−1=0 or x−4=0
x=1 or x=4
Sorry I wasn't able to do 13 and 14 but hope this helps! :)
Using sampling concepts, it is found that the correct option is:
This is a convenience sample and likely overestimates support for raising funds.
<h3>How are samples classified?</h3>
Samples may be classified as:
- Convenient: Drawn from a conveniently available pool.
- Random: All the options into a hat and drawn some of them.
- Systematic: Every kth element is taken.
- Cluster: Divides population into groups, called clusters, and each element in the cluster is surveyed.
- Stratified: Also divides the population into groups. Then, a equal proportion of each group is surveyed.
In this problem, people at the pool were surveyed, hence it is a convenience sampling.
Also, since it only involved pool users, the proportion may be overestimated, hence the correct option is:
This is a convenience sample and likely overestimates support for raising funds.
